Why build an automotive museum? Because one way or another, our lives are touched by the automobile. We remember our parents’ cars, the ones we traveled in with family, the ones we borrowed for our first car date, the first ones we bought. The fast cars, the junkers, the modified ones and the ones we rebuilt—all of them are tied to us in memory. We even dream of cars.
William E. Backer, former owner of Backer Potato Chip Company in Fulton, Missouri, looked back in time and found that a vintage automobile was a thing of fascination. His memories were of old country roads and two lane highways. Bill Backer was an engineer and a builder who loved to tinker. Having built a successful potato chip company, he looked back at the cars that were part of his childhood. Shortly after, he owned a Canadian 1924 Dodge Touring. Dark blue with black fenders and a cloth top. Bill drove his family around the back country roads of Callaway County, Missouri and felt himself touching fading memories.
Not long after he collected the Dodge, Bill had a 1909 Ford Model T. Soon after that, a 1930 Model A. Then a 1929 Cord, a 1931 Rolls Royce Phantom II, a 1957 Chevy Bel Air, and so on. By the mid 1990’s, the number of classic autos in the collection neared 100. Bill found a home for many of his classic cars in an old retail building in Fulton. The Auto World Museum Foundation was formed and a classic car museum was opened to the public. Ten years later, in 2006, the automobile museum was moved to its current home at 200 Peacock Drive in Fulton. It is a building dedicated to the history of vintage and modern automobiles as well as the history of Callaway County and Fulton, Missouri.
After his passing in 2008, his daughter, Vicki McDaniel, assumed leadership of the museum and the collection of cars. Since then, the collection of vintage autos has changed a little. However, her primary passion is for the presentation of antique cars and modern ones in a place that everyone can visit.
The presentation of cars and staging of the museum is the vision of Tom K. Jones, Artistic Director of TKJ Designs in Fulton, Missouri. His concept for the museum was a movement through time and a portrayal of the history of Callaway County, Missouri. Auto World Museum is a stage—a movement through history. Its deep black curtains, scenes from back when, panels of advertising and memorabilia will take you through a history of motion in time. At first, you will visit a period not that long ago, although some say 100 years is a long time. As you move in a clockwise direction through the museum, you will find enticing displays. The simplicity of family drives in the convertible. The decadence of Hollywood and its fancy cars. The sights and sounds of the drive-in as you watched from the comfort of your Studebaker or Corvair. You will ponder when gas prices were really, really low. Finally, you will find yourself nearing the future, with displays of alternative fuel vehicles.
Auto World Museum will spark your curiosity. We hope that you will find that our collection of vintage and modern automobiles fascinates you the way that it did Bill Backer. We hope you will continue the journey with us as we add to the collection over time. We would like to thank William Harrison for his dedication to the research on the autos in the museum.

Risky behavior. This is an old old shot, but I thought I'd try for a "fashion" look to the processing.
me sinto bem chiquititas nessa foto mas fiquei aceitavelmente bem rs. postei mais duas no comentário :3
Visit to the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan on January 22, 2016.
Basically a re-branded Fisker Karma, but this one packs a 638 hp V-8 engine from the Corvette VR1. Top speed is 200 mph.

saw this while driving around on was back from grocery store. Saw it was for sale, and since I couldn't I couldn't afford it I thought I'd take at least a picture.
Me llego esta info que quiero compartir con Uds. aclaro no ser victima de este tema pero se de mucha gente que lo fue y para que no siga ocurriendo es que me parece importante al menos estar enterados creo que todos deberiamos subir a "todos los grupos" estas pancartas.
El grupo es: www.flickr.com/groups/1318131@N20/
1. El dia viernes 5 de marzo todos los usuarios de Flickr que se unan a esta campaña publicaran una foto estilo "Pancarta" que contenga este texto: " FLICKR ESCÚCHANOS! DEMANDAMOS MEJORES HERRAMIENTAS DE SEGURIDAD PARA NUESTRAS CUENTAS! NO MÁS PLAGIOS NI COPYCATS"
2)En la descripcion de esta foto-pancarta o en el primer comentario (eleccion personal), se agregara este otro texto que en ultimas es la solicitud oficial que estaremos haciendo todos nosotros:
Flickr Escuchanos! Queremos más seguridad!
Cada vez es mayor el numero de usuarios afectados por los plagios y/o uso indebido de sus fotos y contenido por terceras personas.
Ya no basta con informar en el Perfil del usuario y en cada foto que se postea, que existe el derecho de autor y que para su uso hay que pedirle permiso al fotógrafo que ha creado esa imagen.
Ya no basta reportar a estas personas o bloquearlas, porque FLICKR no ejecuta acciones contundentes contra estos ladrones, pedófilos y/o sádicos que siguen utilizando sus cuentas a voluntad y haciendo uso indebido de las imágenes sustraídas a otros usuarios.
NOSOTROS, los usuarios dignos y éticos, los libres artistas, los que respetamos el trabajo de nuestros colegas, los que utilizamos FLICKR de manera LEGAL y somos parte de una comunidad que busca enriquecerse de la creatividad del compañero e inspirarse en sus obras SIN COPIARLAS y sin hacer uso INDEBIDO de ellas, RECLAMAMOS Y EXIGIMOS por esta vía:
Sean respetados nuestros derechos de autor.
Que FLICKR cree nuevas herramientas para proteger nuestras obras.
Que una vez un usuario sea bloqueado se le prohiba visitar de nuevo la galería de la persona que lo ha bloqueado o reportado.
Que se les suspendan indefinidamente las cuentas a estas personas, que plagian, copian y usan estas fotos adquiridas sin permiso con fines ilegales y penados por la ley, como lo son entre otras, la pedofilia y la pornografía.
FLICKR Escucha a tus usuarios! Ya no basta con una advertencia que diga " Llevanos a los gatitos" y que la cuenta no pase el filtro de seguridad, hay que hacer que las cuentas sean mas seguras.
Que Flickr haga un seguimiento adecuado a las cuentas reportadas. No queremos mas moderación sin justificación. Senores administradores de Flickr. Exigimos respeto en la moderación de todas nuestras cuentas y que se diferencie claramente el hilo entre lo pornográfico y lo artístico.
FLICKR es hora de mejorar tus sistemas de seguridad y de garantizar el servicio que todos merecemos!
Hoy nos unimos a una protesta mundial para alzar nuestro arte en pro de un mejor servicio y de un mejor FLICKR, donde podamos seguir compartiendo de manera ética y legal nuestros puntos de vista de la vida y del mundo a través de nuestro lente!
Gracias por considerar esta demanda y por mejorar los puntos débiles expuestos anteriormente.
3) Esta "foto-pancarta" la subiremos al pool de este grupo.
4) Desde hoy y hasta el viernes, haremos recordatorios cada uno de nosotros en las fotos que publiquemos, informando a la gente que el viernes es el dia donde saldremos a exigir nuestros derechos. algo tipo: "No olvides unirte a la protesta que se llevara a cabo el proximo viernes, con el fin de exigir mejores herramientas de seguridad en Flickr"
